Why do people have this weird notion it takes 5+ years to rebuild?

Where did this come from? Is it the 1990s?Why do people keep saying it? I’m not talking the shitty franchises at the bottom of the barrel that are playing an endless game of NFL Minecraft who everyone seems to love to compare us to to say we’re not so bad...

I’m talking about the competent FOs. From recent memory the Eagles, 49ers, Chiefs, Rams all had pretty quick turnaround. Like 1-2 years. But I haven’t seen any team stick with the same players and coach more or less to start winning in year 5/6.

With proper front office making wise decisions and a GM drafting solid and filling the holes I see (and expect) a 1-2 year turnaround, this whole 5 year to rebuild talk is silly.

What Tepper said to me comes from a business perspective. The team (and it’s success) is just part of Teppers vision. Listening to Tepper he really talks about this place as a business. Rebuilding for him includes things like successful marketing, especially if Cam leaves. 

To the fans who really only care about the success of the team, it just seems people expect a horrible record for the next fives years to rebuild and recently teams have success in less time. I don’t see any reason why after two years this team can start seeing success.

He also said he came in and left things alone on the football side for his first two years. So for the team side of his business he is on year 1 for me. For his business as a whole, I’d agree Panther55, that he’s in year 2-3.

Tepper said 5 years because he knows he may not get it right the first time. Yeah, ideally, we land a great head coach and reboot with who we have, depending on this season maybe even land a first round QB if the coach likes him, or maybe Cam actually gets healed up. Either way, that's the least likely outcome.

The most likely outcome is we get the best coach we can get out of what apparently is a weak class of head coaches, he comes in and makes changes, we have a bad year next year but we allow it, maybe some improvement in year 2, then year 3 comes around and we're missing the playoffs barely and everyone gets antsy thinking maybe we need to try again. Also, the last of our old guard here is fully gone (Luke), and we're paying CMC a fugton to be the guy but he's now been playing for 6 years at a crazy usage rate, so maybe he gets injuries sometimes. Anyway, hopefully the new GM is good at drafting.

Year 4 we start again with a new head coach and maybe this time the timing is right and year 5 we see a big jump like the Eagles or Rams did.

Exactly. The owner himself said it. I also think this team is in much worse shape than most do. We need to strike gold on a coach and a qb. And we have to replace our entire oline and the interior dline before we will be a winning franchice again. And that doesnt even take into consideration all of the good players that will be leaving like greg olson and mccoy, and even some good players that will not be resigned  as cap casualties in order to rebuild. 

 

If we get a good coach and a good qb on our first trt like we did in 2011 then we might be relevant in 3 years... or we could be headed to nfl hell with compa y like the jaguars. Jets and dolphins who have not fou d the right personel for much much longer than 5 years.

He said that because he wants a new stadium. He would probably prefer to start building in 5 or so years, the timing makes sense. It’s all about making money and getting a new stadium.

Tepper is talking about building a consistent winner, not a one and done playoff team.  It took us five years to do this last time around, though we still never managed back to back winning seasons... we at least won the division three times straight, and made the playoffs 4 out of 5 years.

I look at consistency as making the playoffs more than you miss them for an extended period of time, like a decade bare minimum.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
